To all of you, I know that I think of her often and her outgoing and crazy person that she was. I hope with time, the grief has been a teeny bit better, she is truly missed.

Saddened by the (for me) late understanding of Diane's passing. From being an exchange student from Sweden in the 1980s with the phenomenal Dodge family for a year, I remember Diane as a kind and motherly axis of the goings about in the household. I will forever remember the kind being who tirelessly prepared my sack lunches and taught me a lot about the surroundings and do's/dont's. Most grateful. Very late condoleances to my "host brothers" of yore Ben and Charlie and their families.

A wonderful person and business person. We spent many hours at Sneekers' in the 80's...because of their fare and Diane's welcoming nature.

I first met Diane at the "Circle", a support group for ovarian cancer survivors, and we also volunteered at Sparrow Hospital, St. Lawrence campus. She was always upbeat, and I enjoyed our friendship very much. She was a warrior, and will be greatly missed. Janet LaGrow
